By: Niño F. aka F00l3Al2
A/N: Northern Sword, Seth is a senior (gr.12) and while the others are in junior (Artur and Ross) or sophomore (Franz), and age is nothing but a number, right?
F.C: Don't say that to R.Kelly, he'll take that the wrong way. Don't sue us for that low blow joke. And what I just said too.
And for some odd reason, the second time through my game, Artur only had 8 stat points for his luck, coincidence?
F.C: The RNG hates you.
"Thoughts"
"Normal"
F.C: Nino no own Fire Emblem characters, except own original characters like me! The self acclaimed best OOC ever!
I don't know you.
Chapter 4 – You've got a friend in me!
August 11, 2005
"Holy crap Artur! You were getting laid everyday and you never told me?" The sudden yell surprised Artur and Lute as they turned around to meet up with Ross Axel. His surprised face soon turned sour as he approached Artur. "Is this why you turn down every girl I throw at you? Is this why I lose most of my chances?"
"Now Ross, let's try and avoid any ugly situation." Said the worried Monk as he looked over his sullen friend.
"Trust me Artur, I know what I'm doing." He says as he lifts his hands, making it looked like he was getting ready to strangle someone. Artur started to tremble, knowing that his friend had more muscles than him, meaning that he could kill him in two seconds flat. Surprisingly, his demise didn't come, as he opened his closed eyes, he sees his friend on the ground, bowing constantly.
"Please Artur! Tell me your girlfriend has a sister!" Asked the begging Ross. "I tried to hook you up like a good friend so you should at least try to do the same for me."
"Well, um..." Was all Artur could say before he was interrupted by Lute.
"Well, I have this cousin that lives around here, and she says she looking. How about that?"
"That is great! When do I get to meet her?" Said the ecstatic jock.
"Like I said, she lives around here, so maybe tomorrow!" Replied Lute.
"Yahoo!" Said the excited teen. Suddenly pairs of victory fans popped into his hands as he starts to do a little dance, as he leaves the home of the Monks. "I can't wait to meet her! Thanks you guys!" He yelled to the crazy couple as he left for his home. Artur could only sweat drop as the whole confrontation unfolded in front of him.
"Yay! My cousin finally gets a boyfriend!" Said the excited Lute.
"By the way, who and what is your cousin?" Asked the curios teen.
"The cousin I was talking about is Violet Bled, a Chinese dhamphir!" Answered the purple haired beauty.
"Dhamphir! You mean the half vampire half human, dhamphir? And what do you mean China! That's 500,000 km away from here and were also separated by an ocean as well!" Shouted the surprised Monk.
"Yup! And she can fly here too! I'll just go get her tonight, and I might be out all night so don't wait up! Bye!" Said the retreating form of purple head succubus.
"Thank God I meet Lute while I was young! If I meet her when I was older, I would had a heart attack about now!" As Artur was thinking these thoughts, he starts and does his normal nightly routine, brushing his teeth's, praying, etc. "I really hope that Ross won't get killed by Lute's friend." His eyes didn't stay long after those thoughts, as the sandman came early to visit him, and was soon in deep slumber.
---------------------------
"Today is going to be first day of my entire life!" Shouted the excited teen.
"Yeah, I heard you the past ten times, "I'm going to get a girl!" Stop it before I hurt you!" Replied the red head beside him.
"Oh! What are you going to do? Hit me with your frail arms? And you can't use magic since you failed anima class. So I can do whatever I want without worry!" Ross bluntly replied. Artur just sighed in defeat, as he heard his friend repeat the same thing again for the 11th time. He wished that they hadn't missed their bus, so at least the other passengers can suffer with him. Unfortunately, the bus was there, and the passengers had to suffer with him. Everyone except those two left at the next stop. Artur notices that the driver even left the bus and was waiting with the other passengers at the stop.
"Great were going to be late." Sighed Artur. He looks over at his friend who just finished his 15th victory dance, and was now starting to do his 16th. "I am going feel so sorry for him and he meets the girl Lute's bringing."
---------------------------
"Mr. Monk, what an honor it is for you to join us…. 30 MINUTES LATE!" Shouted his teacher. "I still can't believe they allowed you, a failure in anima magic to join us in Specialized Magic: Light Class!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Hikari! This will not happen again, I promise!" He said as he continuously bowed to his teacher.
"Well then get to your sit and take out your notebook and be prepared to write some notes on the origin of light!" Mentally, Artur groaned upon hearing his teacher's instructions. The topic of the origin of light was a long unit, and the textbook for it was as thick as two phone books. It would be impossible to find good notes from it and avoid carpatunnel.
"Well I better get started, it's going to be a long first period."
---------------------------
Artur next was class was his second least favorite (first being his women's literature class), which was weapons class. He had no other choice, except for demon taming class, where the death rate is higher than weapons class. So he choose weapons class because it was little safer.
"What the hell are you doing? You are suppose to use a chop the balls straight of the guy! If you can't do it on a dummy then you can't do it during the sparring part of class!" Yelled the trainer to a swordsman in training.
"I think that demon taming class is starting to look whole lot better." Said Artur.
"Ok class! Choose a partner! Sparring starts now!" Artur's face completely loses color after hearing those foul words come out of Warmaster Tydus mouth. He immediately starts to look for a spot in the gym where no one will be able to see him for the remainder of the class. Once again, Artur's luck kicks in.
"So there you are Mr. Monk." Said a feminine voice. He turns around and faces a girl with violet hair and innocent, yet menacing eyes. "I can finally add you to my trophy case. So just sit still while I cut a piece of your body!" In an amazing burst of speed she jumps up high and slashes at Artur, cutting of a piece of his hair in the process.
"Wait, that's it?" Asked the relieved Artur.
"Well yeah! I am not really allowed to kill you, so your cute little head is safe." Replied the girl. "But once you graduate, I will hunt you down cut off your head and hang it on my wall of fame!" She laughs manically as she walks away from him. After seeing it, another girl with violet hair and eyes goes up to check on Artur.
"Are you ok? Did my sister do anything?" Asked Marisa.
"I'm okay, but Melissa is so scary, and she used to be so nice too." Commented Artur.
"Please excuse her violent nature, I had been a bad role model to her for her." Looking down on the floor, Marisa continued her little speech with her sad monotones voice. "I guess she just wanted to be like me when I first picked up the sword. I'm a horrible excuse for an older sister."
"It's okay, just watch her, okay?" Said Artur. He was about to say more to comfort her, when the bell interrupted him, to signal him to get ready for next class, which was lunch break.
---------------------------
Artur was the first to arrive at the usual spot under the tree. He didn't admit it, but he secretly hoped that Lute would come, but after 15 minutes, with no Lute in sight, he gave up on her arrival today. A little while later, he heard the familiar voice of a loud mouth.
"Today is going to be first day of my entire life!"
"Argh! I heard! You don't have to repeat yourself!" Shouted Franz at his friend, skipping along beside him. Artur just sighed and looked at Franz and gave him a look that says "He's-been-doing-that-all-day." Franz looked at him and asked, "What's he so happy about anyway?" But before he could answer, Ross, intervened, and answered it for him.
"Artur's girlfriend is setting me up with someone!" This news surprised Franz on a number of things. One, Artur has a girlfriend, and two so will Ross, and three, it was Ross. "Well, I thought I'd never see the day my two best buds get girlfriends."
"She's not really my girlfriend, just a close friend." Retorted Artur.
"Today is the best day of my life!" Ross friends were really annoyed now at their friend, who has been a broken record all day. "I have a feeling she'll take my breath away!"
"Oh boy, not only your breath, but your blood as well." Said Artur. All conversations stop though, once the bell rung and signaled everyone to head for next class. Before he reached the school a hand comes out of the bushes and pulls him. He was about to scream when he saw the familiar wavy lavender hair.
"Lute! What are you doing?" Artur said in a whispered tone, as he tried not to draw attention to his current surroundings. He was about to continue, but was cut of with another kiss from her.
"Eating, why? You should be expecting these by now." Replied the playful Lute. "See ya tonight! Don't forget to bring your friend!" Her body started to disappear into the ground, but before she completely disappeared gave a waving good bye to the perplexed red head at the scene he is seeing.
"Dang, I'm still not use to seeing that."
---------------------------
If there was one word that could describe Artur's next class, it would be, Goth. His "classroom" was the basement under the school, and all his classmates had a lot of black on them. He was the only person in the class that stood out like a sore thumb, and he was scared that they were planning on doing something to him because of that. The worse part is he did not know anyone in his class, making things even more awkward.
"Maybe the magician's course was a bad idea. I should have stuck to the healers course."
A few minutes later, the teacher appears at the front of the class, walking from out of the shadows. "Good afternoon, class. My name is Professor Knoll Yami, and I'll be filling in for Professor Eld for a while." The class responded with their usually dark and emotionally drained voice. "Now class, we are going to start this dark class with the basic flux spell. Any volunteers?"
---------------------------
Artur did not leave Dark Arts class a happy man; he left in a black mess from the after effects of the flux spell. Any student who got up, asked him to be the dummy. Of course the spell was weak, but some of them managed to sneak in a full blast behind the teachers back. Of course he wondered why, but just assumed he had weak magical defense. Thankfully his next class would be a more peaceful experience.
"Okay class, everyone get ready! We are going to start meditation class." Said his teacher.
"This is the best class ever!" Said the over joy red head.
"Feel all of your pain just vanish as you breathe it out and breath in a new." The teacher crept slowly beside Artur with him knowing, and continued his instructions. "Can't you smell that? Doesn't it make you want to feel something?"
Artur was a little frighten to see his older male teacher get so close to him like that, but dismissed the thought because he had always seemed to act like this, with other boys.
"Oh crap! This guy is swinging my way!" He opens his eyes and meets up with Mr. Gamy dark blue eyes.
"Does it make you want to do something, Mr. Monk?" Slyly, yet also seductively, said Mr. Gamy.
"I have to go to the washroom! I haven't gone all day!" Exclaimed Artur.
"Alright, Mr. Monk, I'll be waiting." He said with a chuckle. With hastaga cast on him, he quickly leaves the room and heads for the farthest washroom possible from the class. "I hope you'll be thinking of me Mr. Monk, when you are all alone in that washroom" Soon his little chuckle turned in a deep laugh, making his other students give him strange looks.
---------------------------
"So much for the best class ever." Said Artur as he did his business in the stall. "The bad thing is I can't transfer out of that stupid class. Why do the bad things always happen to me? Might as well get back to class."
"HEYA!" Said a familiar voice.
"WAH!" Shouted Artur.
"Wow! It's bigger than I expected! Perfectly sized too! Nice width and length!" Said the observer's voice.
"Lute! What the heck are you doing here? This is the men's room! And why are you looking at my… thing." Said the embarrassed teen.
"What are you talking about? I was commenting on how nice this human bathroom is! It's so perfectly proportioned!" Artur just sweat dropped and blushed even more realizing she was not talking about his equipment. "Well come on! Let's go and have some fun and leave this joint!"
"But I have class and…" He stopped and realized he was turning down an offer to leave meditation class and the cradle robber pervert. "Never mind, where do you want to go?"
"Well I've been hanging out in this really cool spot! So come on! I'll show you!" She says the perky succubus.
---------------------------
"Isn't this place cool!" Said Lute.
"But this is just the public park." Said a disappointed Artur.
"I still haven't shown you the best part! Follow me!" Said, no, ordered Lute. Artur just willingly obeyed her without much thought and just followed her lead. "See that ant hill and all those ants?"
"Yeah, so? What's so special about them?"
"They're normal ants right now, but," In what seemed like seconds she shot of a ball of fire from her hands, and shot it at the ants. "They are now fire ants!" She starts to laugh at her own little joke. Artur just sweat dropped at her action. "That should teach them for not obeying me and making me queen." His sweat drop increased in size at what he just heard.
"By the way, where's your friend? You know the dhamphir?" Questioned Artur.
"Oh, Violet? I told her where Ross lives and now she is going over there right now to meet him." Responded Lute.
"Oh crap! He is going to die, if dhampir's act the way I've read in books!" Said Artur. "Does your friend know how to act around humans?"
"I don't know, it has been awhile since she had any human contact she said to me."
"We should go check up on them then." Said a worried Artur. "Please don't be dead when we get there."
---------------------------
DING-DONG
"Who is it?" Shouted Ross.
"Violet Blud! Lute's friend." Said the girl's voice behind the door.
"Welcome to my humble abode, Vio—AHH!" His scream could be heard for miles.
A/N: I have to admit, the beginning was kind of weird, even for me. BTW, did I spell the half ling of vampire's right? (Dhamphir?)
Knoll may seem ooc, but I have not really used him a lot so I don't know what he's like so sorry about his personality for you Knoll fans.
If you want an explanation of his school, they teach educational stuff on one day, and army stuff the next day. It goes on like that for the rest of the school year.
In his school, there are three different courses, fighters, magicians, healers, flyers course and a special Manakete course (meaning you needed to be part dragon).
I also apologies for my mediocre story writing, I have good ideas, but I am horrible at presenting it right. And if this chapter seems short, I'm sorry for that too.
F.C.: Like everything else in your life. Ha!
I can easily destroy you
F.C.: Shutting up.
